Short note on the Boston marathon explosions

It is never the right time to mix politics with tragedy, but what I am about to post does not constitute that.

First of all, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

The point I want to make, at a time where our Constitutional right to defend ourselves is on a slippery slope, is this: the bombing illustrates that people will kill people using whatever means possible. It is indicative of the mental and moral health of our society, not our great technological advancements.
